Abstract

The project addresses some applications of Differential Geometry in Physics. The candidate will study lecture notes from the course Géométrie et Physique, taught by V. Rivasseau at the DEA in Ecole Polytechnique, and will solve all example sheets. Moreover, the student will transcribe the lecture notes to Portuguese, with a view to its potential use in an optional postgraduate course at Unicamp. (AU)
